Can't move widgets after 3.5 upgrade

Have you tried:

– switching to the Twenty Twelve theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

Hi CB00,

“Can’t move widgets” points to a JavaScript problem. See if you get any errors following these directions:

If so, let us know what the error(s) are, maybe we can help you work through them.

This is the Javascript error im getting.

Error:

“position”,1))&&/(auto|scroll)/.test(c.curCSS(this,”overflow”,1)+c.curCSS(this,”overflow-y”,1)+c.curCSS(this,”overflow-x”,1))}).eq(0):this.parents().filter(function(){return/(auto|scroll)/.test(c.curCSS(this,”overflow”,1)+c.curCSS(this,”overflow-y”,1)+c.curCSS(this,”overflow-x”,1))}).eq(0);return/fixed/.test(this.css(“position”))||!a.length?c(document):a},zIndex:function(a){if(a!==j)return this.css(“zIndex”,a);if(this.length){a=c(this[0]);for(var b;a.length&&a[0]!==document;){b=a.css(“position”);

I figured out mine. It was a plugin issue with custom post type. I was using the Ultimate CMS plugin. Deactivated and it worked.

I would deactivate all plugins then check your widgets. Then enable one by one to figure out which plugin is causing the issue.

I solved the problem in my case: The issue was in the Bullet Proof Security plugin. This leaves a .htaccess file in the wp-admin directory. This file must be updated. Deactivating the plugin had no effect. The plugin had to be updated and activated and used to update the .htacess file.

May be Better WP Security has functions to update it.
Else, if there is a .htaccess in the wp-admin directory, remove it.
Set .htaccess in the WordPress directory back to original (or remove it).
